Codex wrote 1.3 million lines without getting it done, while Claude ported the TypeScript compiler in two weeks.
According to news from Bijie, well-known developer Theo has open-sourced the tsc-rs project, aiming to port Microsoft's TypeScript 7 compiler, written in Go, to Rust, covering the compiler, type checker, and language server, with the goal of directly replacing the official tsc. The project lasted about five months. Theo initially used tools such as Codex to generate more than 1.3 million lines of Rust code, but compatibility never broke through about 84%. Converted at API list prices, the tokens consumed were worth more than $400,000. Later, he switched to Claude Opus 5.5 and re-ported it from scratch, producing a runnable initial version in 10 hours and completing the main work within two weeks, with token consumption of about $24,000. Tests show that tsc-rs has passed 181,711 tests ported from Go, and the check results are basically consistent with Microsoft's Go version, with only a small number of known behavioral differences. In addition, according to performance tests on 60 open-source projects, the Rust version's type checking takes about half the time of the Go version on average.
